Descripción

Villanoño,
a small village situated 3 km away from Villadiego, has another good
example of fortified architecture. The tower has 15 m high and forms
a perfect square. Some auxiliary buildings are next to it, and it was
surrounded by a barbican which had a lancet arch that still remains.
It belonged to the Marquina family and it still preserves some
original windows. It was built in the fifteenth century, although it
has a coat of arms dated in 1664.
